Bills of Exchange, thereby making larger profits than they can by dealing in other paper, the discount on which is restricted to 6 per cent, per annum.

In a financial sense, a Bill of Exchange should not be so regarded by the form of the instrument alone.

Such a bold, manly repudiation of their nominee, who was presented to the country upon the-doubtful platform of availability alone, could not fail to strike terror through the entiro whig Press. Most of them are struck dumb with amazement.—Journal.

Don't believe a word of it, and would hardly give credit to your statement if you would •wear to it. The opposition to Scott, so far, is not as much as was exhibited against Taylor. The whole Clay Club of New York, 500 strong, repudiated tho Philadelphia nomination, yet New York went for Taylor. Seventeen mem bors of Congress, among whom was John Randolph, published a manifesto against Jas. Madison, but it did no good. We believe now, half of Congress might issue protests against Scott, and the

Waller,

who has been a Bank Cashier for forty years, recently retired froin said business in Lexington, Xy., and he leaves the following record about banking, which is applicable here, as well as elsewhere. lie says: "In taking leave of the Board of Directors of the Lexington Branch Bank who have always been kind to me, and withdrawing myself from any farther connection with the banking Institutions of the State, 1 wish only to say, that I do not retire without entertaining some apprehensions that evil will attend the present policy of banking in Kentucky. My apprehensions do not arise from the multiplicity-of the banks incorporated, but from the mode of operating. My fears are 1st. That the currency furnished by the Banks will cease to be a iust standard of value, and that when this is the case, commerce and business will be left without that element necessary to preserve them in a healthy and sound condition. "WJheu Banks get into the habit of drawing checks upon eacn other payable in bankable funds, that shows of itself, that, there is a currency not equal to specie. Bank .notes that do not command par, or are not convertablc into specie, ought to be driven back upon the Banks which issue thetn. 2d.

Further south it was really a storm, and wo regret to hear that the lightning killed Mr. Kelly Miller, a son of David Miller, Esq., of Liutoti town ship. It seems Mr. M. was on the Wabash with Mr. B. Trueblood fishing, or arranging their linos, when the fluid struck him while he was in the skiff, and knocked him over board into the river, leaving .his hat iu the skiff, torn to pieces. Mr. Trueblood was much stunned, but managed to reach the shore, how ho could not toll. At this time, the body of Mr. Miller has not been found, though the friends of the deceased wortj searching all day Saturday. Found Saturday at 10 o'clock

to Saturday last, we

had for several weeks, very warm, sultry, and dusty weather, from which vegetation, and the. growing crops suffered generally. Grass has been killed in the yards about town, and the gardens were nearly ruined. But Saturday, Saturday night,.and Sunday, brought us some gentle showers, which were just in time to save thousands of bushels of com for the farmers, and though there has not been rain enough, enough has fallen to preserve the crops until more shall come. The thermometer used to range from 88 to 95 in the shade. On Monday morning the mercury was at summer heat 76°, from which it rose gradually all day. Tuesday tho highest beat obtained in the shade was 83°.

O* Major Semans, one of the potto freesoilera of this State, goes for Pierce and King, we presume as he predicts that Geu. Scott will be badly beaten. He is however, only company for Van Buren—Martin and John, (the man under the hay, and the "Prince") Rautoul, Hallett, Bryant, Cleveland, Sumner, Dix, Chase, Preston King. Towushend, tc., Ac. We believe most of these eminent free-soilers think it best to go for Pierce, rather than a man of their own, as Gen. Pierce comes near enough their estimate to suit them.

The Collector of the port of Lafayette may be mistaken in his estimate of Scott's popularity, but lie will not be astonished until after the election—then he will be.

U- Besides the candidates announced in the Express, we notice that Edmunds is out for Judge of Common Pleas, Cooper for Sheriff, Cunningham for Treasurer, and Lee and Jones forjudge Common Pleas. The whigs seem to surround the chair of common pleas, and very likely will let it be taken away by one not of their number. So it seems at the present writing. The other side are actively awake to their prospects in the coming canvass, and cal. culate upon an equal division of offices, or more.

O" That word teas wrong, Mac., of coarse it was, but wo did not so spell it we only neglected to alter it in the proof sheet, that's all.

It is no great merit to spell well, though it is a great defect to spell badly. Our etymology and syntax have generally been better than yours—so we think, and in looking over your last paper may we ask, why you say "an hundred battles" or"aeulogy" or above all, "Scott will never have no office to bestow"!!

In the first two, the rule is, "a becomes an before a vowel or a silent k." Hundred has no silent h—Eulogy commcnces with two vowels, with the sound of another vowel, and for the last, "two negatives destroy each other, or arc equivalent to an affirmative." You have butchered all these rules in the very paper that finds one error against us. You are a rare (raw) critic, truly.

Your articles, an hundred times written, in the high strains of a eulogy, will never have io effect in making folks appreciate your scholarship, nevaire

We are sorry to take you back to the rudiments, but your perversity or stupidity leaves us no other alternative, and if you do not do better, you will bo turned over to the district school, as we cannot waste time on a-b ab scholars.

IT The State Sentinel, iu an estimate of the coming Presidential election, graciously allows Gen. Scott two electoral votes! The Journal hunts up an old file of said paper of 1848, in which it was seriously predicted that Taylor and Fillmore would only get Rhode Island and Kentucky—no more.

The Sentinel's late estimate is about as true as was that of the same paper of 1848. We think Mr. Brown ought to be kind enough to allow the brave old Scott more than two electoral votes—we do.

He has a strapping negro body servant, whose morning duty is to rub Old Bullion down with cold water and crash the old gent then takes a walk, has breakfast, and goes to his work.— So says the Ponnsylvanian.

of St. Louis, has been appointed and confirmed as Governor of New Mexico. Dr. LANK is every way competent for the office.— Ho will discltarge its duties faithfully and im partially, protecting alike the people and the interests of the Government.

October 18th, following, we sent Mr. Palmer the bill.— March 18,1852, and April 15th, on two separate occasions, we again sent the bill. We sent the paper with advertisement to Messrs. T., M. it P., and to Mr. P., but up to this time, we can get no reply from V. B. Palmer, nor can we account for his singular silence.

If Mr. P. has any valid excuse why he should not pay said bill, or why he should not reply to our letters, -we will forgive the debt. We have occasionally sent him the Express with his name inserted as agent, but have not sent the paper regularly, nor kept his name in print all the time.

We hope the Mr. P. who is complimented by the Albany Knickerbocker, will give us no occasion but only to follow suit. Up to this transaction, our business with said agencies has given us no cause for complaint. r-j.

The time for harvesting Wheat, Rye, Oats and grass is about over, and as far as we have heard good crops 'of all will be obtained in this part Of the country.— Wheat, in many ^aces, is said to be particularly good, which we are glad to hear. In Illinois, along the Mississippi river from Alton to Chicago* the wheat crop is reported to be unusually good. The Galena Advertiser says, that winter wheat will be good, but spring wheat, it is feared will be badly injured with rust. The reports from the middle and lower part of the State are favorable.

0^7" For kindly suggesting what would lend interest and character to the Daily Courier, that paper has improperly taken it in dudgeon, and tells• more truths about us than it will ever do again of a long summer's day. It was rather too much to rub so hard on a sore place, and a decent set of "bowels of compassion" would not hare done it. Thefe is reason in all things, except editors we believe neither rales nor reason will 'apply to many of them.

What if our Daily did die, after it got tired living? It left none to lament unrewarded elbow-grease—no paper-ma-ker to sigh over dishonored bills—no did, dled foreman, jours, or apprentices there some virtue in that? We stopped without the intervention of a judge or jury, or the hungry officers of the law.— Wasn't there some discretion in that? "Expired in great agony." Ah! we know the reason you have outlived us so you keep books by double entry, and charge two prices for your paper. That accounts for it. Bills receivable, double entry— bills payable, scant single. That's it in a nutshell, and we shall adopt the same mode after while.

But, if we are to be thus snubbed when we volunteer a kind act, we shall have to sink our benevolence and be mean in selfdefence, however much we dislike it. The Madame is gone, however, and if you do not wish to engage her, it is only your own fault. If our advice is not taken, we charge nothing for it.'

The "Pierce and King Club" of

The Trouble with England.

The following will show the cause of the probable difficulty now brewing with England:

The American Fisheries. ..

The important official despatch we published yesterday, from the Hon. Secretary df State, relative to the misunderstanding with Great Britain of the provisions of the treaty of 1818, touching the right df our people to fish on the coasts pf Briush North America, attracts universal attention, and excites much comment.

The questions at issue are lucidly stated by Sir. Webster. The difficulty, it will be remarked, rests solely upon a diverse interpretation of the language of the treaty, and it is one, therefore, that might, with great propriety, be left with a prudent and enlightened diplomacy to settle. But there are considerations of immediate pressing importance, which give to the matter, we confess, a very unpleasant as-

patch of the British fleet to the fishing grounds, with the avowed determination to drive off the Americans vie el armis.— Such a proceeding may lead, unhappily, to bloodshed or, if that be avoided, to an acerbity of feeling between the two countries, that is not likely to facilitate aft adjustment of differences. If our people are violating treaty stipulations, a remonstance addressed to tne United States government, or a respectful invitation of its notice to the encroachments of our fishermen, might have moved it to take such steps as would huve quietly reminded its citizens of their duty but as it is, it looks as if it were going to be a word and a blow. This may not turn out to be the wisest course Her Majesty's Ministers could have marked out to pursue. Time will tell.

This sudden turn of affairs, it is also remarked, is one of the consequences of the late change of Ministry in England. Under the treaty of 1818, American fishermen had been allowed to take fish on the coasts of. British America, in any waters three miles from land. On the ascension of Lord Derby to the post of Prime Minister, the British Cabinet adopted a new interpretation of the treaty, by virtue of which they have resolved to expel the Americans from all fishing grounds within their large bays, without any regard to their distance from the shore. The government of the United States, of course, resists this new claim set up by Great Britain and, though in opposition to the recorded opinion of the Advocate General, and the Attorney General of England, we quite agree with Mr. Webster that, not believing that the construction thus put upon the treaty is conformable to the intentions of the contracting parties, it is right that American citizens engaged in these fisheries should be upon their guard.

If the predecessors in officc of the preseut British Ministry linked at the alleged infractions of th£ treaty iu question ever since 1818, thus giving a tacit sanction to* the interpretation which it hits pleased rf«r fishermen* to put upon it, Lord Derby, in now seeking to reverse that interpretation, we opine, has undertaken the performance of a task that nmv turn out to be a rather hard one for a new Ministry like his.

Be that as it may, however, we must be permitted to reiterate the opinion that no disturbance of the present friendly relations happily existing between England and the united States will grow out of this new difficulty between them: Provided Her Majesty's steam frigate Devastation, with the rest of the fleet iust despatched to the waters of Newfoundland, do not perpetrate some overt act which may lead to recrimination, aud retaliation, nnd

retribution from the parties aggrieved, or who, construing the treaty as Mr. Webster construes it, are not believed to be breaking the laws of their country. We have great confidence in the wise statesmanship of Mr. Webster—none at all ill British cannon.—N. Y. Express.

SOUP.—The

Call early. Store east of the Public Square, next door to P^Uerj& Co.'s.

Democratic papers make

merry over a certain''hasty plate of soup" that Gen. Scott once purfcook of. We remember that when another brave old General (God rest his soul!) was nominated for the Presidency they grew very facetious over the "hard cider" that he was reported to indulge in occasionally. According to the best of our recollection, they grew very sick of that "hard cider" —it turned deadly sour upon their stomachs. They got funny on the wrong, side of their mouths towards the close. If we are not mistaken they will find the "hasty plate of soup" as troublesome to take as the "hard ctder." It will turn out to be the holiest soup, and the hardest to swallow, they ever got into their mouths, and yet it must go down, though it scald their throats like a boiled lobster. Go ahead, my funny fellows, and we'll see who'll get the bestof the laugh.—Lynchburg Virginian. t'

O* There was a democratic meeting at the court house on Saturday last. They had some disagreement, but made it up, we believe. Delegates were named for the Bowling-Green convention.

O* Yesterday and to-day will witness thousands at Niagara, celebrating the anniversary of the battle of Lundy's Lane.
